The name may be derived from Coll or Colin, an English diminutive of the Greek name Nicholas; from the Irish word cuilein, meaning "darling"; from the Welsh collen, referring to a grove of hazel trees; or of the French colline, meaning "hill".[2][3] It may be derived from "relative or son of Coileáin", and other meanings ascribed to it are "victory-people" or "puppy".[4][5][6]
